There are many problems with removing free-will from human action. For example, from a legal standpoint, how could someone be punished for a crime if it wasn't their choice? Also, what about spouses? How could a spouse be guilty of cheating if it wasn't their own free-will to choose?

Feelings and emotions seem to lack free-will though. A lot of time we experience emotions without processing it and thinking it through first. It's related to our less-refined "reptilian brain" that first developed millions of years ago. I think the idea of free-will is multi-faceted.
